Examining teaching, graduate training, research, and their ethical context in the research university, Donald Kennedy, former President of Stanford University and currently a faculty member, suggests that meaningful reform cannot take place until more rigorous standards of academic responsibility are embraced by both faculty and the administration. With vision and compassion, he offers an important antidote to recent attacks from without that decry the university and the professoriate.
